Additional Information

Mentors include Unity 3D and Unreal experts, multi-award-winning developers, multi-talented artists.... They can give you tips on improving your graphics and code, getting funding, going on courses, or getting your game published and making money.

Do you want to bring your GAME DEMO?! Awesome, please check with us in advance so we can talk about space and time (fitting you into the event, not quantum physics :P)-- shoot us an email ---> links on the right -->

Unlike other PlayMyDemo events, you must be over 18. That's because we're serving alcohol, and that's the licensing rules.

Another year of MASSIVE multiplayer Virtual Reality FUNZ

We're getting together to test out the hardware and software limitations and advantages of a multi-Vive setup. Come and figure out how it will affect your players, network decisions, instances and design decisions. Warning: fun may be a side-effect of this important research.
